ABSTRACT In this paper I pose four questions raised by Mark Textor’s The Disappearance of Soul and the Turn Against Metaphysics. These are: (1) When did Bertrand Russell abandon the subject? (2) Is acquaintance always a polyadic relation? (3) Does Idealism follow from the thesis that all relations are internal? (4) Is the development of philosophy of psychology and philosophy of mathematics linked together, that is, did the New Logic substantially influence British analytic philosophizing about the soul, or did the New Logic develop independently of theorizing about soul?
